“…The seroprevalence of N. caninum in water buffaloes can greatly change either between countries or when the protozoan is cause of mono-infection rather than co-infection. Indeed, it can vary from the 24.3% reported in Mexico up to 66.7% described in Israel [15,16] and a recent investigation in northern Brazil showed a N. caninum seroprevalence of 44.0% but 14.8% of the infected animals were co-infected with T. gondii [17]. Studies performed in Italy showed a seroprevalence of N. caninum in water buffaloes ranging between 34.6% and 59% [18,19].…”

“…The first of the three aborting pathogens, N. caninum can infect dogs and other canids as definitive hosts and is considered one of the most common causes of abortion in livestock as cattle, sheep, goats, water buffaloes and camels [14,15]. The seroprevalence of N. caninum in water buffaloes can greatly change either between countries or when the protozoan is cause of mono-infection rather than co-infection.…”

One hundred twenty-four water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) originating from 9 farms located in southern Italy were tested to investigate simultaneously, for the first time, the seroprevalence of the protozoa Neospora caninum, Toxoplasma gondii and Besnoitia besnoiti by ELISA tests and to evaluate the clinical findings potentially associated to the presence of these aborting parasitic pathogens. Twenty-five of 124 buffaloes (20.2%) were positive for N. caninum, while 17/124 (13.7%) for T. gondii. No buffalo showed specific antibodies for B. besnoiti. Nineteen of 124 animals (15.3%) were found seropositive for both T. gondii and N. caninum. The univariate statistical analysis showed that the seroprevalence of N. caninum is significantly associated with abortion and presence of retained foetal membranes, while the seroprevalence of T. gondii is significantly associated with an increase of days open. The logistic regression models showed that the co-infection by N. caninum and T. gondii strengthened the abortive effects (OR = 7.330) and showed further negative effects on the parameter embryonic death (OR = 2.607). The outcome revealed herein represents a high exposure of N. caninum and T. gondii in water buffaloes with reproduction disorders that deserves attention for both economic reasons, animal health and welfare.

“…buffalo herd is in Northeast, with 10,437 thousand heads located in the state of Pernambuco (IBGE, 2016). Many serological surveys on N. caninum infection in water buffaloes have been carried out by researchers in different parts of the world with prevalences ranging from 1.50 to 88.30% (BRASIL et al, 2015;CAMPERO et al, 2007;CHRYSSAFIDIS et al, 2015;DUBEY et al, 1998;FUJII et al, 2001;FERROGLIO et al, 2003;GALVÃO et al, 2013;GONDIM et al, 2007;GUARINO et al, 2000;GENNARI et al, 2005;HUONG et al, 1998;HAMIDINEJAT et al, 2015;KONNAI et al, 2008;KONRAD et al, 2013;MEENAKSHI et al, 2007;MOORE et al, 2014;NASIR et al, 2011;NEVERAUSKAS et al, 2015;PORTELLA et al, 2016;RODRIGUES et al, 2005;ROMERO-SALAS et al, 2017;SOUZA et al, 2001;SENGUPTA et al, 2012;SILVA et al, 2010SILVA et al, , 2014SILVA et al, , 2017VOGEL et al, 2006;YU et al, 2007).…”

Neosporosis is one of the major parasitic diseases that causes reproductive problems, making it a limitation for optimal efficiency in livestock. The aim of the present study was to conduct a seroepidemiological survey for bubaline neosporosis and to analyse associated factors associated with N. caninum infection in female water buffaloes in the State of Pernambuco, northeast Brazil. The prevalence of N. caninum infection in the bubaline herds examined was 35.4% (122/345; 95% CI: 30.4%-40.7%), at least 1 Neospora-positive animal was found in each farm. Associated factors for N. caninum infection identified in this study were exclusive pasture feeding (OR: 5.91, p <0.001) and purchase of animals of free fair and from reputable sellers (OR: 1.85; p =0.045). In this survey, we document the occurrence of neosporosis in female water buffaloes. Associated factors should be controlled in order to reduce the risk of N. caninum infection in these herds.

“…En México, hasta el momento solo hay una prevalencia sérica descrita en búfalos del 24.3% en el estado de Veracruz (14). Con respecto a bovinos, la seroprevalencia encontrada en ambas UPP está por encima de lo reportado en México ya que son pocos los estudios realizados en condiciones similares; entre ellos, se reporta en el estado de Veracruz un 26% de prevalencia general incluyendo ganado lechero, de carne y sus cruzas (15) y de 20.8% en ganado de doble propósito (16).…”

Objetivo. Determinar la frecuencia de Neospora caninum en dos Unidades de Producción Pecuaria con sistema búfalo/bovino de la zona central del estado de Veracruz, México. Materiales y Métodos. Fue un estudio de tipo transversal con muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se incluyeron dos Unidades de Producción Pecuaria (UPP), ambas con población bufalina y bovina ubicadas en la zona central del estado de Veracruz, México. Se incluyó el total de la población bufalina, bovina y canina, tomando muestras sanguíneas entre febrero-marzo, 2019, las cuales fueron procesadas con la prueba comercial ELISA (IDEXX®) y la prueba de inmunofluorescencia indirecta (VMRD, Pullman, WA, USA). En cada UPP, se aplicó una encuesta general y una individual para la colecta de datos. Los resultados se analizaron con el software STATA versión 14.0. Resultados. Del total de la población bóvida analizada, 63/138 animales presentaron anticuerpos contra N. caninum con frecuencia de 45.6% (IC95% 37.1-54.3). Con relación a las UPP, la población de búfalos presentó mayor presencia de anticuerpos contra N. caninum, 26/31 de la UPP Cotaxtla con 83.8% (IC95% 66.2-94.5) y 12/22 de la UPP Medellín con 54.5% (IC95% 32.2-75.6). Con relación a los perros, 4/6 resultaron positivos (66.6%). Se observó que de acuerdo con la especie animal 38/53 búfalos, presentaron la mayor frecuencia con 71.6% (IC95% 57.6-83.2). Conclusiones. Fue comprobada la presencia de anticuerpos contra N. caninum en población bovina y bufalina de las UPP estudiadas. Se confirmó que existe una mayor frecuencia de anticuerpos en búfalos de agua cuando cohabitan con bovinos y caninos.
